Call for Workshops

Overview

The European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC) is a unique venue for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their latest ideas and results on theory, experiments, techniques, systems and tools for the design, validation, operation and evaluation of dependable and secure computing systems.

EDCC workshops provide a forum for presenting novel ideas, exchanging opinions, and discussing preliminary results in a friendly and interactive environment. They also serve as incubators for specific communities in dependable and secure computing with common research interests and goals, and to enable discussions and information sharing between academics and industry researchers and practitioners. Traditionally, the workshops precede the main conference and can be a half-day or one-day event.

The workshops are expected to cover dependability and security topics, which include, but are not limited to those listed in Topics section of the Call for Papers.
